Summer Indeed

I love it for so many reasons:1. open windows with cool summer breezes blowing through2. beachfronts filled with sun loving people3. summer festivals4. vacation and national holidays5. outdoor concerts6. gardens in bloom7. kids playing outside 8. the ice cream truck driving down our street9. picnics and grilled burgers and brats10. capris, sleeveless shirts and sandals11. warm sunshine on my skin

This memorial day weekend, I will think of those who are fighting in foreign lands while I enjoy my summer day so freely walking along Chicago's lakeshore; one of my favorite places to relax. With only 9 days to go until my AVON Walk, I am excited for what the summer will bring. Hope this weekend brings you some fun and tranqulity as well.

The Women

Susie is a happily married thriving stay-at-home mom of her 5 and 19-year old daughters, a tireless caretaker of her elderly mother and budding blogger and entrepreneur. You may know her from Susie's Homemade .

Brenda is a mostly stay-at-home mom to her preschool-age son. After twelve years as a high school German teacher, she is now is an adjunct instructor of German at the community college level and also teaches German to six to nine year olds at Houston's German Saturday School, where her son also attends a weekly Kindergarten. She and her husband reside in Tomball, Texas, northwest of Houston. Brenda spends her free time reading, exploring Houston, traveling, and engaging in all things German!

Kari is an instructional designer working on development of online courses for adult education. She and her husband, Ben, live in Chicago where she enjoys taking photos, volunteering, visiting the museums, and exploring the city.

Diane tires of the mundane easily. That's why she got a kickin' job as a journalist, but as a result, she doesn't have time for much else. Despite that, she managed to get married and have a beautiful 4-year-old daughter. She is also pregnant right now. So be nice.
